First thing Monday morning I bought 500L of heating oil for £393 ($450).

Out of curiosity I went to see how much that would cost me today - £682 ($783).

A week on and 500L of standard Kerosene is up to £729.75 ($974.79) here in the UK 🙃

Brent crude just went back down to $93.00/bbl.

This may be a short-lived hike, we'll see.

Yes crude is down today not because improvements in oil from the Middle East, because the world is tapping it safety reserve.  
The Arab state are saying this is going to be one of the worst oil crisis in history. This is going to be long term and the safety reserves is only a temporary thing

That and Trump also removed sanctions on some oil producing countries also there has been one tanker that was escorted by the US through the strait of Hormuz, breaking a psychological/ confidence barrier for other tankers to come through

We will see. They need to get the strait open. It should have been a foreseen issue.

WTF happened overnight to shoot gas prices up so much today? Jumped from 3 17 to 3.59 from Monday morning to Tuesday. 

We were at 2.53 before all this, jumped right to 3.29, dropped to 3.19, then 3.17, then right up to 3.59.

Diesel is currently at 4.99 here. 3 weeks ago we filled up in TN for 2.99.

$90 is about where it “should” be. Low enough where we’re not strangled at the pumps, and high enough to encourage exploration and R&D.

A senior official posted that there was an escort, but then the post was later taken down. So my bad. You seem disappointed that the price of oil is down, why?

Because he's anti American as can be when a non democrat is in charge.

 

On the other hand when Biden was semi in charge i wanted him to succeed to further the American agenda period the end.

 

Hyper political types like Matt wish to see us fail which is rather unfortunate.

Go  read the article I linked. 

Orange Man bad called this sh!t back in 1988 which is pretty wild.

 

For the record I never liked Trump and voted for Obama so put that in your pipe and smoke it Matt

I’m not Maga and didn’t vote for Trump 45 or 47.  Like you,  I hoped for the best when the Biden administration was in charge. Trumps in charge now and I hope for the best for my country.💯👍🏻

Putin likely felt the same way Trump does now:  this will be a quick & dirty campaign. Russia did not anticipate Ukrainian resistance or massive Western aid. Trump would be wise to heed Putin’s lesson, as our adversaries are more than willing to assist Iran in a similar fashion. 

Hopefully cooler heads prevail and Iran’s new leadership will agree to terms. Trump needs to stop his “unconditional surrender” rhetoric as it only emboldens the Iranian hard-liners who understand that w/o US forces in-country, this war could indefinitely continue.

If 2 foreign nations attacked the US, killed the president and wiped out the Pentagon, would the US agree to terms?

Unfortunately for Iran, they are not close to matching US and Israeli military capabilities.  The old guard can maintain some semblance of control as long as no troops are deployed.  Righteous fundamentalist groups always have new heads to replace those that are severed. The long-game favors a quick resolution that includes existing leadership remaining in place.

Not disappointed because it my money also. That also a typical response, just because I point out the facts of the situation doesn’t mean I’m for the bad outcome.  One doesn’t stipulate the other.

What I’m getting at is that all you MAGA posts and claim things that are either not true or don’t present all the information, or reasons why things happen. Trump had nothing to do with the price of oil dropping, so to claim well it’s coming down, doesn’t help the core of the problem.  Also 3 oil tanker were hit in the strait of Hormuz.

Your assumption that I’m MAGA is incorrect,I am not. Didn’t vote for Trump 45 or 47. You assume because I hope Trump is successful equates to being MAGA. I hope Trump is successful because he’s our president. Couldn’t stand the Obama or Biden administrations, but while they were running the show , I hoped they would be successful. It’s not a hard concept to grasp…..I’m an American therefore I want my country to succeed. At any rate I realized that this thread is in the dumbgeon so I wont be posting in it any longer.

There might be a difference in military capabilities but what Iran is doing , is making the US and Israel spend enormous amounts of money to protect against cheap weapons. In 10 days the US has used over 400 patriots which is over 1/2 of the arsenal. That is more than Ukraine used in 4 years.  Iran is stocked up on there drones and missiles, we are not.  At $4-5 million a shot.   Patriot missiles (or similar high-cost interceptors) against cheap targets is a classic example of a war of attrition in economics and military strategy.  

Ukraine should have been a easy for Russia

Iraq should have been easy for the USA and allies 

Afghanistan “

Afghanistan against the USSR

Vietnam 

Even Korea really 

Iran is going to be much hard than Iraq or Afghanistan 

So at what point does Trump land on an aircraft carrier and say mission completed or something similar?

Ok maybe you’re not MAGA, and that’s fine. Ok, but when you say you hated the Obama admin and Biden admin, which both did more for the American people than Trump has in my opinion.  They arrest tried to bring people together not divide them.  Obama deported more people than Trump has. He did get rid of the worse of them and he did it legally and with compassion, not like what Trump is doing.  Biden tried to put through an immigration bill that had everything that the republicans wanted, but because of Trump it was killed by the Republicans. Both Obama and Biden took over from republicans with shit economy’s and when then left the economies where going strong.  

But yes the thread is a dumbgeon  we can agree there, I have also said that I will stop posting, but I get sucked back in by people that post things that are not true, or just parrot the Trump admin with any verification. It’s not like the Trump admin has just bent the truth a few times, it out and out bullshit everyday, every story changes everyday multiple times depending on who you talk too.  Even the DOJ now can’t be trusted in courts, judge after judge is calling them out including Trump appointed judges. The DOJ is going after people that didn’t commit any crime as retribution for Trump but not filing charges against actual criminals. Trump has pardoned some many people which have committed huge frauds against the American people. Also pardoned drug traffickers.  Anybody that pays Trump one way or another.  Honestly it organized crime.

Ok it’s fine.

Look I don’t care who you voted for, what I care about is that instead of calling Trump out for all the BS, conservative justify the flip flopping. Also calling out Biden for the times he either misspoke or didn’t make sense is totally fine, he does and did have a strutting issue , but not to call out Trump for his word salads and saying things that make zero sense that is hypocrisy. Trump has done it way more than Biden. Trump has fallen asleep way more than Biden too. 
I don’t have any issue calling out wrongs on both sides, if that hyper political so be it. But I make an effort to get the facts straight before I say something, but I human also and make mistakes. So you know about me I was a registered Republican all the way up to Biden then changed. But I did vote for more Democrats because they had better economies and didn’t increase the deficit as much, also tried to help more people than just the rich and businesses.  Trickle down economics never worked it been proven time and time again.

His plan to give insurance to ships going through the strait shows a lack of value for humans. What captain is going to do that?

Yeah when’s that gonna happen? The same time he’s gonna escort them with the navy? 
Wonder if the energy secretary had a bunch of buddies shorting oil futures before he wrongly stated the navy was escorting tankers. 
Honestly, it’s like a comedy skit now. 
How the fuck does nobody in the government actually know what’s going on. The Benny Hill theme should play in the background every time anyone from the current admin speaks in any kind of official capacity.
